Vive_La_Villa Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He was superb today even before he scored. Long balls are fine if they are aimed at him. He is great at holding off players and bringing it down. It’s the aimless hoofs where he has to challenge in the air where we struggle. Today we used him brilliantly.

cheltenham_villa Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 not just the goals, the ball seams to stick to him when it goes forwards. I thought it helped having Barkley play further forward, almost like a front 2 at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Obviously the two goals was great, but I was perhaps more impressed to see the improvement in his hold up play tonight, very good all round after taking a while to get into the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He is shoving humble pie into my stupid lil mouth. You can tell he just has “it”. He hasn’t even had the chance to properly settle into the league and he’s smashing in goals. Sure there’s flaws in his play but he’s young and they can be ironed out. If he could just sharpen up on a couple of aspects of his game over the course of the next year or so, he’ll be smashing them in like Vardy every season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 People said the fee would seem a snip if he got the goals. It's already looking like an absolute bargain.He can have two anonymous games if he's a matchwinner every third one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Lol at the folks in the match thread who were loading up the " I told you he wasn't all that " in advance. He's just admitted to being an Arsenal Fan in the post match. Burn him!!! Edited November 8, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Such a hard job playing as the lone striker in the Premier League, considering he has only done it for one season in the Championship he has had a remarkable start. Being on the same wavelength as Jack and Ross helps a lot, they will create loads of chances for him and he will consistently end up in the right place at the right time with his movement.

Tomaszk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thought he was largely poor up to about 70 mins. Couple of nice touches from long balls, but so wasteful on the ball when in good positions. Looks really nervous on the ball a lot of the time. Honestly don't know why, that's what was costing him, nothing technical or work-rate wise or anything. Grealish got really annoyed with it a couple of times, I got Wes flashbacks. 70 mins onwards, that's what you pay for. Ruthless. He's there in that red zone every single time. Finish and timing of run also delicious for the third, just class. If he shakes those nerves on the ball, we won't be able to find a striker anywhere that suits us more. Keep up the good work Ollie.

Rightdm00 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Oh man if he plays all 38 he may get 20. I hate how isolated he can get at times but when the midfield is able to provide runners around him we look so dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some really poor touches in the first half. No confidence, would do the dirty work then mess up the simplest of touches. Once that first goal went in though you can see how he just switched on. Amazing to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 His hold up play was really good today, bought the team so much time and space. Took his goals really well. So much better than I thought when we paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublin's start was crazy. I think he may have missed a pen or had a few disallowed goals as well in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
